But as I watched the two stars make eye ntact across crowd rooms </span><em><a href=" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">Portra of a Lady on Fire</a></em><span>, my pulse quickened—the two women hadn’t even touched.

For Hunter Blas, 25, “yearng” feels extrible om her inty as a WLW. “What I love about [yearng] is the quietns of , the subtlety,” she said. “Yearng is subtle and leav room for terpretatn on if ’s romantic or platonic. I love perd piec about love between two women bee feels like that general subtle sire, but dialed up."</span></p><p><span>If you glance at TikTok, Twter, or Tumblr (which, sce s ceptn, has kept a home for the gays), queer yearng is everywhere.

I asked Ng if she thought that race and class might be tied to who feels most entled to yearn, across the sexualy spectm; she speculated that might be the se for those who “n yearn for a pastoral 'past' om the perspective of a digal prent, or have time and money to buy gredients to bake om scratch and so on, ways more likely to be unavailable to people of lor.” </p><p><span>In one sense, is a privilege to take pleasure yearng, stead of associatg wh pa, cludg for queer folks.
